Book of Hours, St. Catherine, This book was created ca. 1460-70 CE in Bruges by the workshop of Willem Vrelant for an English patron, as suggested by the many English saints included in the calendar. The manuscript is heavily illuminated and contains thirty historiated initials, some with unusual themes, such as Christ's wounds and the Murder of St. Thomas Becket. While the number of illuminations is large, their execution is fairly standard

RM2T8YPJ1–Book of Hours, St. Catherine presents female patron to Christ, This Book of Hours was created ca. 1450-55 in Bruges by Willem Vrelant and associates. This book contains eighteen extant miniatures, including many unusual thematic depictions, such as the Buffeting of Christ in the Hours of the Cross, and a very Dürer-like depiction of the Holy Face in the Suffrages

RM2T8YCMN–Book of Hours (Use of Rome), St. Catherine, This pocket-size Flemish Book of Hours was created in Bruges between 1460 and 1470. A heavy contingent of South Netherlandish saints in the litany helps localize its production. Although small in scale, it is notable for its abundance of illuminations, nearly thirty extant, by artists working in the style of the prolific mid-fifteenth-century Flemish illuminator Willem Vrelant. Three artists worked on this book

RM2T8YFF3–Book of Hours (incomplete), Initial 'D' with St. Catherine of Alexandria and a kneeling knight below, This fragmentary Book of Hours was created in Ghent for the use of a woman with Dominican ties ca. 1300. Although quite a bit of text and imagery is missing, including the calendar and Office of the Dead, this tiny manuscript is lavishly decorated on nearly every page with marginal drolleries and grotesques, making it a rich and charming book even in its fragmentary state

RM2T8YHAD–Book of Hours, Two angels revering St. Catherine, This richly illuminated Book of Hours was produced ca. 1460 in Bruges by an artist in the circle of Willem Vrelant, whose work was influenced by the Masters of the Gold Scrolls and Master of the Beady Eyes. Allusions to the order of Franciscans and Augustinians in the litany and calendar, and the prominent depiction of female saints in the All Saints miniature indicate that the book was originally created for a female patron, possibly connected to one of these orders
